A new life in Palma, Spain...

As many of you already know, our little family has recently relocated to Palma de Mallorca, Spain and many things have already happened since then.

Considering we were moving for good and not for holidays, we extensively spent the first 2 weeks looking for a house, looking for a car, discovering the city and of course looking for other climbers to start exploring the climbing potential of this beautiful island.

Funny enough, even before having found a house and having purchased a car we had already bought the local climbing guide book and we could tick off two climbing trips on our agenda!


Before moving to Palma I had already joined the two most important local facebook groups Escalada en Mallorca and even more crucial, Escalada en Familia Mallorca, which is a group fully dedicated to climbing with kids.

As you can guess it wasn’t very hard to meet the local climbing community!

On our first climbing trip we went to a place called Sa Cantera, a nice little crag with some easy but interesting routes, while on the second exit we went to CalaMagraner, a beautiful crag facing the sea and with loads of routes.

What is remarkable is that in both occasions we didn’t drive for more than 45’ which is quite reliving if we consider the driving time we were facing in Thailand and therefore the significantly reduced amount of crying-time on board!

Both locations are quite kids friendly, a part from a 15 minutes easy-walk approach which obviously requires having a baby carrier or a baby-backpack to hike, and in fact we met many other climbers with their children.

Although kids’ age can vary a lot it’s awesome to see how parents can reciprocally help each other, and share different level of fatherhood experience, both in terms of daily kids handling and most important, in terms of enjoying outdoors with our lovely creatures.

From now on I will try to focus my writing on the fatherhood aspect of being a climber and this is why the blog has changed name and layout!

Hope you will enjoy it and keep on following our little stories!
